Comment 5 for bug 773374

Actually, the hpijs driver works fine as long as you use the socket://
connection instead of the standard hp:/net connection for the DeviceURI value.
You can do this manually in /etc/cups/printers.conf or with the cups web
interface. This is my HP 8500 A910 configuration in /etc/cups/printers.conf
which has so far worked for all printing including images such as FedEX and UPS
barcodes:
